Fix: Escape control chars in UTF-8 TLS cert DNs

ASCII control characters (0x01 - 0x1F and 0x7F) are now escaped in the
DNs of TLS certficates even they are valid UTF-8.
Characters in the range 0x80 - 0xFF are escaped if the DN is not valid
UTF-8.
This character escaping for TLS certificates is applied more
consistently.

This addresses issues with XML parsers, e.g. ones used by report
formats, not being able to process control characters.
